A game with rules, weekly
What it is
Simple board and card games train waiting, counting, losing and attention all at once.

- Dice games teach counting without it feeling like counting.
- Keep the first games under ten minutes and stop while it is still fun.
- Say the rule before you start and hold it; changing rules mid-game is the usual cause of tears.
